The FPDM class allows to fill out PDF forms, i.e. populate fields of a PDF file. It is developed by Olivier Plathey, author of the FDPF Library, and has been released as Skript 93.
I created this repository for two reasons:
- make the current FPDM source available via composer
- fix compatibility issues with PHP 7.x
This repository only contains the separate php class written for form filling. If you are looking for a repository containing the main FPDF Library, please head over to github.com/Setasign/FPDF.
Once again, all credits to Olivier Plathey for providing an easy to use extension to his FPDF library!

This script allows to merge data into a PDF form. Given a template PDF with text fields, it's possible to inject values in two different ways:
- from a PHP array
- from an FDF file
The resulting document is produced by the Output() method, which works the same as for FPDF.
Note: if your template PDF is not compatible with this script, you can process it with PDFtk this way:
pdftk modele.pdf output modele2.pdf
Then try again with modele2.pdf.
This example shows how to merge data from an array:
<?php
/***************************
Sample using a PHP array
****************************/
require('fpdm.php');
$fields = array(
'name' => 'My name',
'address' => 'My address',
'city' => 'My city',
'phone' => 'My phone number'
);
$pdf = new FPDM('template.pdf');
$pdf->Load($fields, false); // second parameter: false if field values are in ISO-8859-1, true if UTF-8
$pdf->Merge();
$pdf->Output();
?>View the result here.
